Henry Cavill has been attached to star and produce a series based on the adaptation of the famousWarhammer 40ksince 2022, when he abandoned his Man of Steel costume. The actor has always been open about how much he adores the franchise and is thrilled to bring it to big screens.
It’s been quite a while since the initial announcement of the show, and the project still hasn’t made any progress. It’s unknown where the storyline, cast, and other aspects might go. However, if Cavill really wants to make the show a smash hit among theWarhammer 40kfans, he must bring the most cursed Space Marine chapter in the entirety of the series into the show.
Henry Cavill’sWarhammer 40kNeeds Black Dragons
In the world ofWarhammer 40k, the Adeptus Astartes are super soldiers of the Imperium of Man. These warriors are feared and humanity’s last hope against the tide of threats that plague the galaxy.
While the Astartes, or Space Marines, are considered to be the pinnacle of genetic engineering, they aren’t flawless. We’ve witnessed many of them falling into Chaos or having genetic defects in their gene-seed, which leads to mutations and madness.Many Space Marinechapters have gone through Hell, but not a single one comes close to the Black Dragons.
4 Reasons Why Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40k Army Will Get You in Deep Trouble
If you’re not familiar with theWarhammerverse, the Black Dragons are the successor chapter to the Salamanders and The Cursed Founding. Although they’ve proven their loyalty to the Emperor time and time again, they’ve faced the absolute worst at the hands of the Inquisition, who censured them because of their mutations.
Just like many cursed founding chapters, Black Dragons deal with unstable gene seeds. Due to this, there are a lot of mutations in Space Marines, which has led to massive bone growths from their forearms and heads.
The rumors suggest that this Space Marine chapter embraces and even enhances these mutations. Some cover their bones in adamantium to make deadly melee weapons.
The inclusion of this deadly chapter in theWarhammer 40kshow will allow Henry Cavill and his team to explore the gray areas of genetic mutation within the series. The show can even bring its own spin on the story of the Black Dragons and also give us a look at their struggle for acceptance within the Imperium.
The sky’s the limit for such a dark Space Marine chapter. Let’s hope Cavill recognizes this potential, as it might prove to be the thing that allows the show tosurpass even Bethesda’sFalloutadaptation.

Thereasonwhy the show still hasn’t hit the production stage is that Games Workshop is still waiting for Amazon to settle the creative guidelines.
The streaming giant just has until December 2024 to agree with Games Workshop. If both parties don’t agree, there’s a chance that the show might not hit the screens.

Considering Cavill’s involvement and dedicationto the project, it’s doubtful that Amazon and Games Workshop won’t come to an agreement soon. However, even if nothing happens, Games Workshop and Cavill can approach Netflix to get things rolling.
All the fans of the Warhammer 40k franchise can do right now is wait patiently and see what materializes, as Games Workshop has stated that it will share regular updates.
